Chapter 576 – The Conspiracy Begins (9)
Kim Do-jin completely stole the country’s treasury for this plan.
How did they steal it?
All magic stones required to activate the ruler’s realm were requested to be of the highest quality.
S-class where the concentration and purity of the magical power contained is over 99%.
In fact, to simply expand one’s territory, level B, which is an intermediate level, or level A, which is an advanced level, were sufficient.
But why did they ask for only the highest quality?
It was for this very moment.
“You have become stronger, charge… ?”
“What do you mean?”
It was absurd.
How dare you speak informally to the topic of the association’s official message.
But it wasn’t the time to worry about that.
“That’s not important now!”
“That’s right. Even though I may be cocky, the important thing is that I have strength!”
“We can win now.”
“Go!!”
After expanding the territory, all the remaining magical energy was absorbed by Kim Do-jin, or more precisely, by the glutton within him.
And distributed it to everyone.
「Realm of Gluttony – One For All」
After planting the finely chopped Gluttony on the hunters within the area, the overflowing magical power was distributed to them.
That was the identity of the unexpected magic power that rose from their bodies.
Of course, the message sent through the association was also sent as Kim Do-jin said.
At least for now, none of this mattered.
For now, it was enough to just have the strength to push the monster away and close the crack.
“Kill!”
Waaaaa!
Cheers echoing throughout the heavens.
The advance of the hunters, filled with unprecedented vitality throughout their bodies, has begun.
Kwiik!?
Hehe… !
Kieeeeek-!
The situation has turned around.
The monsters that had been aggressively attacking humans until a little while ago began to be hunted.
No matter how much a monster is full of murderous intent against humans, it still has intelligence and emotions, even if they are weak.
That means they can also be scared or run away in the face of overwhelming force.
Kiyi!
Wow!
Confusion increases.
Just like the humans running away, pushing and stepping on each other when the monster appeared a little while ago.
In order to survive, they also push away their colleagues who were killing humans with them just a moment ago, and trample on things on the ground, trying to get away from humans.
But they don’t know.
This is the world of humans.
There is a place for humans to escape to, but there is no place for monsters to escape to.
“Don’t miss a single one!”
Hunter shouts from the front.
I wasn’t thinking about the people who would die from just one missed animal.
It’s because of money.
They are magic stones that fall from each one of them, and their body parts can be turned into money.
Also, depending on how many kills you have made and how active you are in this type of work, you can receive more compensation than usual.
They are called the guardians of humanity in their own way, but aren’t they revealing too much money?
That’s wrong.
Hasn’t the world changed?
You can no longer attract people with fake nonsense like noble sacrifice.
Money that is much more valuable than that and is clearly visible to the eye.
Wouldn’t it be worth risking your life for others and the world at that level?
“Good…, Now entering the crack!”
Those who killed most of the monsters that escaped are divided and enter the crack.
There is only one way to close the crack in the break state.
Kill all the monsters within it and hunt the boss.
Then the crack loses its strength and disappears.
“We have to close at least one more!”
Hunters rushing forward.
The man looking down at them was dumbfounded.
“… How on earth did this happen?”
The situation of the war, which was infinitely favorable to this side, has changed.
And that too, all at once.
Hunters who were on the verge of death due to exhaustion were revived.
No, it is not at the revived level, but at 120% power.
What on earth is the identity of that power?
He immediately gave instructions to his subordinates.
“Find out what happened right away.”
Not long after giving the order, a call arrived from a subordinate.
“It seems like Kim Do-jin did something.”
“… Is it that name again?”
Kim Do-jin.
Now, whenever I hear that name, my head automatically starts pounding.
What on earth did they do this time to make hunters in not just one or two regions, but all regions, stronger as if they had taken a drug?
“I don’t know the detailed method. But… “It is said that he made a strange request to the government.”
“Strange request?”
“Yes. Plant magic stones throughout the area. And…, Since we have to use Namsan Tower, please move all the refugees in nearby shelters to other areas…”
A large amount of magic stones and Namsan Tower.
I had no idea just hearing this.
How on earth did Kim Do-jin increase the strength of the hunters?
But I learned one thing.
“Does that mean Kim Do-jin is at Namsan Tower?”
“… Yes. It is said that he has not moved a single step from the top of Namsan Tower.”
“I see.”
He wasn’t sure exactly how, but he was sure.
This ridiculous thing won’t happen that easily.
Just as they endured quite a lot of blood loss for this plan, there is a high possibility that Kim Do-jin is also sacrificing in some way or something.
It was another opportunity.
A golden opportunity to eliminate the worst enemy who has ruined the organization’s plans several times.
“Concentrate all available troops at Namsan Tower.”
He continues speaking with a cool smile on his lips.
“I will kill Kim Do-jin today.”
Hexagram members hiding in various places began to move.
* * *
The gluttony that was broken into small pieces and attached to the hunters’ bodies became my faithful eyes.
“Good. Let’s just leave it like this.”
News of victory rings out everywhere.
The situation was overturned by the advance of the hunters who gained strength.
In some areas, people went in to kill all the monsters that poured out and close the cracks.
If a little more time passes like this, all the cracks that have appeared in Seoul will be able to close.
No, it had to be closed.
It is a lot of trouble to maintain an area that is large enough to cover the entire city of Seoul.
“It’s getting dangerous.”
My head is hot.
It didn’t feel like this even when I caught a bad cold as a child and my fever rose to 40 degrees.
Ah, I remember that time.
Since I was so sick that I felt like I was going to die, I ate as much as I wanted.
Did I say I wanted to eat at that time?
“That’s right, it was a hamburger.”
I still vividly remember the taste of the bulgogi burger that I bit into with my parched mouth.
That’s why I can’t eat hamburgers.
Sometimes when I think about it and buy it, it doesn’t taste the same and I don’t like it.
It was an extremely difficult time, but sometimes I still want to go back…
“No, no.”
Slap your cheek with both hands.
Voila!
“Let’s come to our senses.”
The mind that had become distant and steeped in memories returns to its original place.
“I almost got screwed.”
If I had been a little late, I might have lost consciousness and collapsed.
Blink your eyes a couple of times to reset your vision to zero.
The same goes for the senses.
Take a moment to tightly weave the web of sensations that have become loose due to the boiling heat.
“… ?”
For a moment, I sense a presence that was not there until a moment ago in my senses that had a hole in them.
The direction I’m heading is Namsan Tower, where I am.
It’s hard to feel because it’s far away, but you can faintly feel the murderous intent and malice.
Given the circumstances, it seems certain that they came after me.
“Hmm… “Has the information leaked?”
No one other than the government and high-ranking members of the association will know that I am here.
Oh, and the association employee who relayed the story to the government and association on my behalf.
His presence is still not far from me.
“That doesn’t seem like a traitor…”
That means there is a traitor among the people who know information about me.
“They’re great guys, really.”
I am once again amazed at their intelligence.
I wonder how many eyes and ears have been planted to recognize it so quickly.
Well.
“… If you can roast and boil Han Joo-hee, it wouldn’t be a problem to roast and boil other people.”
While I was organizing my thoughts, the sense of distance from the presence narrowed significantly.
And that sense of distance is rapidly decreasing in real time.
It appears that he chose to kill them quickly rather than making a surprise attack.
“What is it?”
I’m speaking calmly, but the situation was quite serious.
The number is approximately 100 people.
Most of them are at a level between B and A-levels.
But there are some big names in between.
It’s still quite a distance away, so it’s hard to pinpoint, but at least S level or higher.
“You took advantage of the situation very well.”
I think he probably sharpened his knife to kill me.
Just as I expected them, I guess I had a rough guess.
He must be spending a lot for this move.
Because there is no power in this world that can be obtained for free.
The biggest crisis from this terrorist attack.
But at the same time, it was also the final crisis.
If we overcome this attack successfully, we will win.
Otherwise…, Well, I will die, and the other side will win.
“Somehow it seemed easy.”
Raise your body.
If you’re going to have to fight anyway, it’s better to fight back rather than stay still and get hit first.
“Hmm.”
I turn some of the magic power that was being distributed to the hunters back to me.
Magic power quickly fills the core and circuit.
Using this as a material, we design magic.
“Because it’s a forest, fire and lightning are dangerous.”
Excluding fire or lightning that can cause forest fires.
“Ah, land should also be excluded.”
It would be difficult if a landslide occurred.
Then, all that’s left is water and wind.
Look down for a moment.
Yes.
This is a mountain.
There are highs and lows.
And water flows from top to bottom.
“I guess I should let my friends play in the water.”
Replaces all overflowing magical power with water attribute magical power.
All the magical power flowing around turns into a stream of water and flows through the body.
Inflate its size.
Nature makes humans infinitely smaller.
It imitates the great disaster that resulted from it.
Couuuuu… !
A roaring sound coming from a huge stream of water.
What are you going to do with this?
Nothing special.
Did I tell you?
Water flows from top to bottom.
“Now, the water play begins.”
I also decided on a name for the magic.
「Flume Ride」
In the past, Seoyeon really enjoyed riding this.
“The ride is starting~!”
A huge stream of water is released.
Quaaaaa!
A stream of water begins to pour with a strong waterfall sound.
A huge stream flowing down from under the tower begins to flow down the mountain as if it had been waiting.
The height is enough to easily sink one or two humans.
In the face of a catastrophe that cannot be resisted, enemies who had easily climbed the steep slope are swept away.
“Aaaaah-!”
“Cruk… ! Buy, save…, Twist… !”
“Puh-haa!”
It was really nice to see them because they looked like adults riding amusement rides.
