Chapter 224 – – Biting Snake –
Kurrrr-
Lightning bolts of fire fell to the ground with a trembling sound from the sky.
Kieheaek-
Gurgling!
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
Harder to see than a tank… Fighters of the Air Force, who had heard the sound of the phantom bell, flew from far away from the sky, poured out their armaments, and went back.
State-of-the-art fighter jets that fly at altitudes of thousands of feet or more, crossing the speed of sound, are inviolable beings that monsters cannot touch except when taking off and landing.
The napalm bombs and other air-to-ground bombs they poured out would be irresistible death to quite a few monsters.
The problem is that it’s not very effective against monsters that don’t belong to the ‘reasonable’ category, and the price of each shot is so expensive that it’s impossible to calculate the balance, so it’s wasteful to use it against low-mid-level monsters that are just springing out of the ground. It was a point.
Considering the aviation fuel required to fly a fighter jet, the cost of armament consumed, maintenance requirements and maintenance costs after a sortie, the budget and logistics staff are literally pouring blood, sweat, and tears.
If you can win by pouring money like that… I wonder if you can get war reparations.
In the war against monsters, there is no victory or end… A war with no end in sight. In the end, you have to think about efficiency and cost-effectiveness somehow, so the steel birds in the sky were the height of inefficiency in operating them while throwing money on the ground.
“It’s nice that it’s still cool.”
Even so… Perhaps it was because it was the prelude to an S-class monster raid that had happened only once after the gate incident, Yeonwoo Ha swung her shield, feeling refreshed at the generous pouring.
Empty!
Shooting, shelling, and even bombing luckily, and a monster that came close to the trench hit her head with her shield and flew away in the opposite direction from when she came running.
Seeing her head hollowed out, she probably couldn’t move any further.
Wheeeee-
A storm blowing in the aftermath of the bombing that exploded in the distance scattered Ha Yeon-woo’s hair.
Ha-yeon kept her place while frowning a little at the smell of burnt and gunpowder blowing in the wind.
“Haap!”
Hooked!
Along with a brief scream, the sound of something being threaded came from the side.
When he turned his head, he could see what he had been like since he had thrust a spear into the mouth of a monster that was scorched here and there.
Fuck!
Gunshots, shouts, cannons, and the screams of monsters are mixed with the disparate sounds of finger snaps.
Yes-
Along with a clear flow of magical power, silence came out of nowhere, albeit only a small part of the chaotic battlefield.
Hehe~”
Numerous monsters captured by Nayuri’s abilities.
The female hunter, who had been on the verge of getting her head pierced by the claws of one of the monsters, broke into a cold sweat, and she soon regained her senses and stabbed her weapon deeply into the monster.
She thanked her with her glances and gestures, and soon the battle continued.
Because there were still monsters trapped by Nayuri’s abilities.
Nayuri’s mouth trembled as she received her thanks. It seemed that she was quite happy.
Even so, he tries to make his expression solemn somehow… It seems a little loose.
It’s definitely a ferocious cat… Thinking that people don’t know just by looking at their appearance, Ha Yeon-woo swung her shield once again.
Tuoong!
“Quack!”
A monster that collapses with a grotesque scream.
It was still an easy fight.
Those who luckily passed through the fire were weak, and the high-ranking monsters that popped out from time to time were also easily hunted by hunters who had excellent physical strength and magical power.
But most people here knew.
That the fight they are fighting right now is just a skirmish and an appetizer.
Gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg-
So-
Gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg-
A subtle noise amidst the din of battle hitting your ears.
It sounded like hundreds of rocks rolling all at once.
It is a vibration that seems to be transmitted directly to the body…
Rumble-
The ground trembled with a different shaking than when shells and bombs exploded.
The slight earthquake that came up through the soles of my feet wrapped around me like waves crashing before a typhoon came.
As the sound gradually grew, the seizures of the monsters were also intensifying.
“Uh… Sister.”
Did Ha Yeon-woo see something while he was paying attention to the vibrations he felt through his feet?
Park I-rae spoke.
“Huh?”
Ha Yeon-woo suddenly heard the voice of Lee, who felt a trembling of a different meaning from the rumble of the ground! I came to my senses.
“Excuse me…”
A finger since pointing somewhere.
Following that outstretched… Slightly rough finger, what I see is…
“San…”
Coming?
Got closer?
Procrastinate?
No matter what it was, no matter what expression was right, Ha Yeon-woo thought that maybe her perspective was wrong…
In the Korean Peninsula, where it is rare to see the horizon, the forest towering at the edge of the field of view is not an unusual landscape.
Even when the front line was formed today, at the end of Ha Yeon-woo’s gaze, there was a jagged mountain range in one corner.
That’s right-
But that was different.
There are no jagged peaks, but in the distance… Something like a huge mountain, submerged in a faint blue, was moving.
Obvious.
That’s it…
***
Too-ta-ta-ta-
“Whisu-“
Shin Ye-hwa whistled while listening to the regular, large rotor rotation of the helicopter.
A powerful and agile transport helicopter.
Originally, it was something that would never be floated during the wave period when monsters would go crazy, but this time it was different.
As the riders were human, there was no worry of being attacked by monsters belonging to the normal grade.
Still, helicopter pilots were chosen through their skills, guts, and volunteers.
Because the target he had to drive the helicopter to was an S-class monster.
Even S-class hunters can’t guarantee life or death… But if you’re an ordinary person, you could die even if you brush them.
[Can you see everyone?]
Responding appropriately to the pilot’s voice through the headset, Shin Ye-hwa observed the shimmering monster.
A ferocious wind blew through the wide open door, but none of the people present could be so intimidated by the wind.
Not only Shin Ye-hwa, but others were silently observing him.
Gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg ggggg
The sound of the rolling rocks that could be heard distinctly through the strong wind and the sound of the helicopter’s engines and rotors made me wonder if this is what a landslide would sound like.
It is also a landslide made of 100% pure boulders, not soil and stones that are generally pushed together.
Even though it was only moving… I could see the ground shaking enough to be felt from above.
A size that seems to break people’s sense of perspective.
The scales and the body, which seemed to be impenetrable to anything, were terrifying at first glance.
He’s honest enough to know the direction he’s headed, even if he doesn’t want to know.
Right in Seoul…
Just came out of the gate and the monsters are at their most ferocious.
It’s a hypothesis, but to replenish the energy consumed from world to world… In a word, it was a natural destination because he was frantic to find food.
And the S-classes were here to turn their eyes away from that guy.
“Now!”
Fang-
With the cry of the president of the association, the presence of the five people who had been holding their breath so far rises sharply.
It’s like ardently promoting to a monster that’s hungry that there’s food worthy of its rank gathered in one place.
That’s it- It’s a joke-
The body of a huge snake came to a halt with a sharp, high-pitched sound, like a car hitting the brakes.
Soon after, what appeared to be its head bent like a willow branch, and soon after, a gigantic mouth that seemed to swallow any number of large helicopters in one bite opened up.
His attack is so big that it feels even slow…
However, it is only an illusion caused by a broken perspective.
Actually, his attacks were very fast.
“Damage!”
[Yep!]
As the iron bird twisted its body as the engine of thousands of magic attribute roared, a gigantic snake head passed them with a squeaking sound.
Even the simple opening and closing of the mouth creates noise and shockwaves like a bomb exploding.
The air that had been torn apart by the serpent’s body shuddered and a storm broke loose.
[Ugh!]
The moaning of the pilot trying to regain a sense of stability of the aircraft that has become unstable.
Through the rough vibrations, Shin Ye-hwa saw the huge head of a snake that had just passed by, standing like a cobra turning back before she knew it, looking at them.
In the part that looked like a triangular head and two eyes wide open, something like a green flame was swaying.
“That… Something like a snake!”
Ha Yeon-ah, who had driven her head into the outer wall of the helicopter due to a sudden maneuver, exclaimed nervously.
It seemed that he couldn’t properly respond to the shaking because he was the weakest among the people here.
Behind Ha Yeon-ah’s harsh voice, someone’s cry broke out again.
“Come again!”
The snake opens its mouth again.
I’ve already dodged it once… Is it trying to devour it again?
It is said that monsters that have just popped out of the gate have nothing to see and only instinct remains, but this seems to be the same rule for S-class monsters.
When the pilot of the helicopter, who almost crossed the road at the moment of oops, heard the cry and broke into a cold sweat and started evasive maneuvers.
Flash-
Aaaaa-
A serpent’s throat resembling an abyss leading to hell.
The dark green mana that rose from within was vomited out.
A sudden outpouring of magical power that had no sign of it.
In general, it was called the breath that comes to mind when thinking of dragons, but…
Nonetheless, no one here would have expected that they would be shot out of nowhere without basically taking a breath.
[Fuck!]
The pilot’s scream, which came through the headset like a death sentence, hit the eardrums of the five.
