Chapter 232 – 24. Who Goes First?
Cho-eun was literally a monster. There seemed no hope of victory through pure force.
“Hey, are you okay?”
Asked Seoyul whose chest part of the suit was completely broken, exposing his bare skin. Although her and the other women’s appearance was not normal, she was nothing compared to Eun-kyung, who had been hit directly.
“Yes. It’s okay, but it’s a real monster. There are things like that.”
“But the suit is somewhat effective. We can mass-produce it, and we made it roughly, but at this rate, we will be able to win next time.”
Seoyul said that, but to put it another way, what he meant was that it would be difficult to win today. In fact, Cho-eun’s actions were restricted as soldiers rushed at her from all directions, and there was no indication that she was injured or suffered any damage.
At least the wounds that had been scorched by Eunkyung’s blue flame in the beginning had now fully recovered.
“… Should we retreat?”
“Let’s deal with him a little more. And I just heard some good news.”
Eun-kyung smiled faintly at Ji-hee who mentioned her retreat and tapped the ear part of her helmet. He had just heard tremendous news that would turn the tide of the war.
Meanwhile, Cho-eun thought while avoiding the pouring attacks of soldiers.
The soldiers who went through the battlefield together and shared the ups and downs are attacking without hiding their anger. And that too with all my sincerity. It felt like I had been brainwashed.
‘… ‘He said he could edit people.’
She vaguely recalled something she had seen on the Internet and concluded that it was Eun-kyung’s doing.
‘It would have been the easiest way to edit myself, but if you look at the fact that I didn’t do it, I guess you can say I was blocked by restrictions. I heard that the limit to this level is the maximum.’
Currently, the 10,000 elites she brought with her were all people of transcendental middle level or higher. Although they were soldiers, in reality, each individual’s military power was comparable to that of a general, and they were women who could easily lead the army if they went down to the provinces instead of the center.
Compared to Cho-eun, there will be a difference of about two or three levels. When you hear it, it doesn’t seem like a big difference, but the higher you are, the difference between one level is like heaven and earth.
‘He’s quick and skillful at using his abilities. It would be more correct to say that they move on as soon as they make eye contact. It’s a dangerous ability.’
She already has dozens of soldiers who dare to swing her sword at her. Considering that she didn’t spend that long in battle, it means that she was almost completely edited out.
After roughly understanding, Cho-eun swung her sword. He struck the soldiers in the back of the head with the blade without sharpening the blade, knocking them out at once.
“Wow!”
It was a movement like lightning. Even with the Shinhwa owner’s visual acuity, he could barely catch the tail of the movement.
“Let me make a suggestion.”
“Suggestion?”
She said, instantly stunning all of her soldiers and sending them flying behind her. She was still not even out of breath, and it was not only beautiful, but terrifying.
“No matter how many tricks you try, your destiny will not change. Still, if you don’t want to be offered as a gift, how about obediently entering the temple?”
“What. “Are you going to run away?”
“Run after me? You use funny words. On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, I would like to acknowledge you and show you grace. His Majesty will also recognize your abilities.”
Eun-kyung pretended to be worried.
If she were to join the emperor, she would go directly to the emperor and claim to be her subject, and in return, she would be recognized as the ruler of the land, which was a kind of Joseon-style political action, but he did not feel any merit.
However, it was a perfect topic to waste time on.
Eun-kyung brushed her blood-stained hair.
“Okay? Then, if I do that, I will become the true owner of this land recognized by the emperor, but isn’t that too arrogant in front of someone like that? No matter how general you are, you have to be polite.”
Cho-eun chuckled.
“I am a subject of His Majesty the Emperor and a general of the Great King, but at the same time, I am also the monarch of the East. Even if you are granted the title of royal king, since you belong to the East, you are my subordinate.”
“Then how about this? You said you were planning on offering me to the emperor? Then it means that my appearance works… “If I like the emperor and get married, then won’t I be superior?”
“Phew! That’s quite a possibility. “Let’s go and talk then.”
Cho-eun jumped up. She wasn’t stupid. I noticed that Eun-kyung was wasting her time.
Not bad. After all, she needed time to push her army back. By now, the adjutant who received the signal must be retreating, taking the stunned soldiers with him.
She jumped high enough to obscure the moon, crouched down, raised her hand blade like a sword, and threw it back.
“So what is the answer?”
“You’re impatient. “Can’t you give me more time to think about it?”
“Of course not.”
Her arms waved along with her soft words. The lava-like mass that came out with a roar split in all directions and hit the ground.
“Fuck you!”

“It’s done!! Success!! It was a success!!!!!”
A woman’s loud voice rang out from a building where the lights were not turned off even late at night. The women she worked with all looked at her.
〈Skill Upgrade Order (Space)〉
In her hand was a spellbook that emitted such a strange light that it was difficult for her to even look at it. A whopping (space) level upgrade order. If this exists, Tae Eun-kyung can upgrade her administrator access skills again.
“Wow! Is this happening?!”
How many women worked in the factories for this.
As the situation was progressing urgently, people were also put into the top lottery, and for this purpose, as many as 50,000 Shinhwa owners worked in shifts to extract and synthesize skill materials in a factory manner. It was for this reason that only 1,000 troops led by Yoo In-ah were deployed even though the border was helplessly breached by the southward advance of Cho-eun’s detachment.
The women threw the drawing boxes they were holding on the floor. The joy of no longer having to do this damn thing welled up from deep within my heart.
“It’s liberation!!!”
“Wow!!!!”
Tae Eun-kyung becoming stronger means this country becomes stronger.
The girls who already belonged to him were naturally happy about that fact. But what was even more joyful at this moment was liberation.
No matter how much Tae Eun-kyung’s editing was done, her achievements and qualifications were quite spectacular to be selected as the owner of Shinhwa, but how stressful it must have been for them to be doing the same thing over and over again with a blank face.
Their shouts of joy soon spread throughout the building.
And So Yoon-ah, who was in charge of the factory(?), Immediately reported this news to Eun-kyung. And through Oh Eun-ha, he organized a large army and dispatched it to the front lines. The Shinhwa owners who cried for liberation were sent to the front without any time to rest.

Kwaang – !
Flames so intense that they turned the pitch-black night sky red rose here and there. The lush forest can no longer be seen. At this point, let alone the battle, the spreading fire and subsequent large-scale forest fire alone are causing national damage.
“Why are you doing that? “Why not try messing with me with that great editing ability?”
Eun-kyung lowered her head to avoid it and walked away, firing a missile mounted on her suit. Cho-eun, still without a single wound, withstood the missile’s explosion without a care in the world and rushed forward like a bull.
“Speak for yourself, but wouldn’t it be useful in many ways if you could turn this body into a slave? ‘In many ways.'”
With her ridicule, she puts pressure on Eun-kyung as if she is chasing a rat. Except for Eun-kyung, everyone else had already been brutally murdered by her.
Eun-kyung did not respond to any of her chatty words. She didn’t do it on purpose, but she ended up like that because she was focused on avoiding it.
‘Just a little more… !’
Eun-kyung somehow held on.
The original plan was to just taste it and jump out if it didn’t seem to work, but now I see potential.
If you can somehow receive and use the completed 〈 Skill Upgrade Order Form (Space) 〉, then it’s a complete reversal.
There may be cases where Cho-eun exceeds the space rating, but even if that were the case, it would not be enough to overcome the waves of space owners that are emerging every moment.
“I know. She would really be useful in many ways. Furthermore, she uses those plump lips as a bidet.”
“Bidet?”
“I will definitely do that. Including the emperor.”
“That’s blasphemous.”
I don’t know what a bidet is, but the nuance is quite profane.
‘Slowly it’s over… Huh?’
It was then. A huge amount of energy flew from the other side of the sky.
Tuaang – !
It burst through the atmosphere filled with flames and smoke and approached the two in an instant. Cho-eun did not accept it and chose to avoid it. It felt so ominous.
But she couldn’t avoid it.
〈Gungnil (Legendary)〉
It is a ‘spear’ skill that specifies a single target and hits it ‘unconditionally’. As long as it is visible to the caster, the distance does not matter, and it does not matter what obstacles there are between the caster and the caster.
It is completely impossible to avoid.
It even passed through Eun-kyung’s body in an unconventional manner, causing no damage.
The only goal is Cho-eun. She doesn’t cause any damage to anything except her, even if it penetrates her.
“What?”
Kwaang – !
It hit her right in the heart. She, who had been holding on even after being hit head-on by the rail gun, fell behind her. Of course, she won’t take a fatal hit from this. She just bought me time.
“Chanel!!”
Eunkyung smiled as she looked in the direction where the skill came from. Gungnir (legend) is a technique that is like a patent for his slave, Chanel. The fact that she used this skill means she is in a place where the two can be seen, so of course it will be with additional support and spells.
“Master!”
Black dots flew at high speed from afar in the sky. They were slaves and executives, including Chanel, and after that, the number of black dots grew more and more, until it became difficult to count them.
