## Chapter 104 – 10. The Epitome of a Scoundrel
+++
Code coordinates A-1.
The largest drug factory in Incheon, located on an island near Yeonpyeong Island, and everything to Jang Kyung-soo, is burning.
Originally, every inch of this place should have been impenetrable with guards and soldiers, but unfortunately, the timing was off.
Jang Kyung-soo had drawn out a large number of troops to seize the new drugs, which meant that there were fewer soldiers to defend this place.
Jang Kyung-soo thought that would be enough.
After all, anyone involved in Incheon’s underworld knew Jang Kyung-soo’s territory, so who would dare to covet this place?
Besides, was Jang Kyung-soo just an ordinary man? Behind the scenes, he was Incheon’s drug king; in the open, he was the director of the Incheon Autonomous Police Agency.
At least, from the perspective of someone with a normal level of information, he was seen as the de facto owner, simultaneously ruling over Incheon’s light and darkness.
There were plenty of people who would wet themselves and run away at the mere mention of his name, so a drug factory being attacked? Especially one on an island? It was hard to imagine.
That’s why he was able to pull out troops without much worry.
“T, this isn’t a matter of manpower—”
Thwack!
Of course,
Even if A-1’s forces had been at full strength, it wouldn’t have made much of a difference.
“—is it…”
Thud.
The ownerless head that fell to the ground testified to that fact.
His eyes were wide open in disbelief, unable to close even in death.
Whoosh,
Whoosh,
Levi, who nonchalantly beheaded him and then swung his sword a few times in the air to scatter the blood, sheathed his sword.
“Next?”
“…!”
He finds the next target.
And when he locks on, he slides forward as if ice skating, cutting them down with a quick draw.
Crack!
A man wearing a military helmet is split in half.
And then immediately the next.
He finds the guy with the implant that can’t even be seen like a ghost and cuts him in two, then slices off the wrist of the man pulling the trigger.
In the slowed-down perception of time, as the hand, the gun, and the blood spray out in one direction, he spins his body and slashes several times.
After about 0.3 seconds, the man is thickly sliced and rolling on the floor.
In the meantime, the enemies who had secured their positions attacked.
They fired machine guns that shot out thousands of rounds per minute, and some used grenades or expensive small railguns.
Levi neutralized everything.
He danced, waving his sword lithely, slicing off the sides of the incoming bullets, intercepting the grenades by deflecting their fragments, and dodging the railguns by curling up like a ballerina.
Thwack!
A railgun swept past near her side by a hair’s breadth, colliding with the ground far behind and causing an explosion.
A huge flame briefly illuminates the dark sky.
“A, a knight…! Why a knight…!!”
It was an unbelievable situation.
It was something that no human could possibly do.
If there was a being capable of such feats, it could only be a knight.
Just graduating from a knight training center was enough to be treated as a brigadier general, and if they got a position in the Ministry of National Defense, they were immediately treated as generals—unprecedented human weapons!!
Why would such an existence be here!!
“Knight…?”
Levi tilts his head at the enemies who have lost their will to fight.
“I’m just a human, though?”
He charged forward and cut down the enemies.
Not a single one of them avoided his attacks.
Meanwhile, Snow White, the ‘real knight.’
Instead of recklessly rushing in and rampaging like Levi, she decided to ‘experiment.’
Her personal weapon cost over a trillion won.
It was a brutal weapon that activated her special genes and drew out transcendent power just by holding it and channeling ki into it, but she had never used it in actual combat.
She thought it would be good to do a lot of experimenting in a relaxed (?) and easy (?) beginner zone (?) like today in order to use it properly in the future.
First, stage 1.
Whoosh.
A creepy mass of plasma flickers like dancing from the plain handle in her hand, then converges into an intense light that seems to blind her, revealing the shape of a blade.
The length is about 1 meter.
The buzzing sound and the heat that feels like burning skin are very threatening.
‘Rather, the length becomes shorter if you strongly suppress the ki. If you release the control… it gets longer.’
Just thinking about it roughly, it seems like you can inject ki wildly to eat that much ki and draw the blade longer, but in reality, it’s the opposite.
The basic form is an infinitely shooting shape, and the current form is created by suppressing and compressing it with ki.
However, the longer you draw it out, the weaker the strength feels.
‘How weak does it get?’
She looks ahead.
Enemies are hurriedly moving around the building, which is wide like a semiconductor factory.
The distance from where she is standing to the building is about 20 meters.
“Haaap!”
Whoosh,
She swings it wide and large towards the building, releasing the plasma restriction.
The firmly held blade shape stretches out endlessly like a whip, swinging as if to bisect the building.
And the result was,
“!!”
Shock itself.
The entire wide building is cut down and collapses.
A heavy roar crushes the screams, and black smoke rises with the earthquake.
Clatter.
Snow White controls the plasma again.
The shape is formed in an instant, forming the shape of a sword.
“…”
The power is so shocking that even Snow White, the knight, stares blankly.
This is only stage 1.
‘Then what about stage 2?’
“T, there she is!! That bitch!!”
“Kill her!!”
Stage 2 is the railgun form.
Just in time, a group of moving targets is rushing in.
It’s a perfect situation for experimenting.
‘They said that pressing the button next to it activates stage 2.’
Click.
The plasma immediately turns off, cracks appear in the handle, and structures pop out from the inside as if cells are multiplying, starting to transform.
“Ah…!”
The time it takes is about 2 seconds.
The personal weapon, which was only about 20cm, instantly becomes a heavy rifle that is 1 meter 20 long.
Trrrrr!
In the meantime, a close-quarters soldier using an implant approaches within striking distance and swings a club with electricity flowing through it.
It seems they are trying to capture her alive.
How dare they,
Not recognizing a knight and trying to capture her alive.
Clench.
Aiming at the ignorant, she pulls the trigger.
Bang!!
The railgun is fired with a roar even louder than when the building collapsed.
“Ugh?!”
The impact pushes Snow White back about 3cm, and the guys who were rushing in front of her explode into the air without a trace.
And the straight line behind them is completely devastated. Flames rise along the deeply pitted floor.
The wide-open front barely stops after creating a deep cave in the island’s mountain. In the meantime, white smoke rises from everything, creating admiration for this destructive power.
This level of output is super-sized even among railguns, a ridiculous thing that is only attached to battleships or mechs.
To cram that in so compactly….
What the hell is Militaries…!
‘I, is stage 3 really necessary???’
Even though she was experimenting, she was filled with serious questions.
First of all, the factory has already collapsed, and some of the remnants have been blown away by the railgun, so what about stage 3 here?
Of course, there are still many factories left, and there are many targets, but it didn’t seem like it would be a proper experiment.
‘Hmm…. Should I do it next time…? Today, I’ll just get a better feel for stages 1 and 2….’

“W, what is that…!”
Jang Kyung-soo couldn’t help but be shocked by the scenery outside the AV.
He couldn’t believe the sight of the entire island burning red and turning to ashes.
‘They said the contact was cut off in the middle. Has it already been captured??!’
Even though the number of troops had been reduced, there were still hundreds of them.
Considering that he received the attack report only about twenty minutes ago, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t understand the scenery of the island.
“B, boss…!”
“These… bastards…!!”
However, what filled him was not fear but anger.
Captured in ten minutes?
It’s possible.
If they dropped a large number of troops in an instant, or if they had been shelling from afar from the beginning, it was not impossible.
“How dare they…! How dare they!!”
An unbearable anger rises.
How much is all that worth….
How much more will it take to rebuild that in the future…!
Bang!
Jang Kyung-soo kicked down the door of the AV.
The AV staggered from the sudden impact, and as a result, some of his subordinates were dropped into the air.
“Aaaaaah-!”
The screams fade away.
But Jang Kyung-soo doesn’t care and looks for a place to vent his anger.
“That bitch!”
The first thing he spotted was a woman wielding a sword that didn’t fit the times in the flames, slaughtering his subordinates.
“Where do you think you are!!!”
Thwoom!
He kicks off the AV and throws himself into the air.
His strength is so great that the AV loses its balance and collides with the follow-up aircraft carrying troops, causing an explosion.
“I’ll kill you!!”
Regardless,
Jang Kyung-soo ignited the jet engine attached to his mechanical half-body.
Originally, it was cyberware to assist rapid movement on the ground and to give more power to his fists, but it can also be used in this way.
His body falls towards Levi’s head at a speed dozens of times faster than normal.
“?”
Levi spotted him.
“Dieeeee!!”
Swoosh.
Levi drew his sword.
He elegantly spins around, points the tip of the sword sharply, and takes it to Jang Kyung-soo’s groin, which is falling down.
At that point, her body had already moved out of Jang Kyung-soo’s line of attack.
Thwack.
“Keugh-,”
At the same speed as he was falling down at dozens of times the normal speed, Levi’s sword pierces his body.
– Ah, Mr. Levi-!
The communication that flies in late.
But it was already too late.
Levi’s sword, which had pierced Jang Kyung-soo’s body from his testicles, was swung around, scattering crimson blood into the air, and Jang Kyung-soo was split in half and died.
His corpse rolls on the floor, so futile that even screaming feels like a luxury.
Thud.
Tingle-.
“Hmm.”
Levi, who passed the sword to his opposite hand, rotated his wrist.
No matter how much it was her, she had no choice but to take some damage from such a reckless attack.
Not only his wrist, but his entire right half-body creaks and throbs.
– Ah…. Ah ah…. Mr. Levi….
“What’s wrong?”
– That was Jang Kyung-soo just now….
“Ah.”
– You should have captured him alive….
“….”
