Chapter 2029 – 2029. Newtype
The wedding went smoothly.
There wasn’t much I had to do. At home, I just looked through catalogs with Jung Soo-yeon and decided on the things we needed for the wedding. Then the servants took care of the preparations. The only thing I really cared about and actively participated in was when Jung Soo-yeon was choosing her wedding dress.
The wedding was held at the best hotel in Korea. Jung Soo-yeon and I didn’t have many family, relatives, or friends to invite, but guests flocked in from all over the world.
This was due to the influence of the Cheonil Group and my reputation as a Guardian recognized by the Angel. Thanks to that, I got to meet high-ranking officials from various countries. Honestly, I didn’t really care to meet them.
The one who was having a field day was the chairman of the Cheonil Group. He had succeeded in witch-hunting his annoying competitors in the recent Younggwanghoe incident. Because it was done in the name of the Angel, there was no backlash even though he openly eliminated them. That’s how immense the faith in the Angel was.
Not all of the competitors were killed, but the others, not wanting to be witch-hunted, bowed their heads to the Cheonil Group. As long as I, with the Angel as my backer, was around, the Cheonil Group would continue to prosper.
The Angel. That guy wasn’t very interested in what happened among humans. What he was interested in was the battle against alien monsters.
The Angel officiated the wedding at my request, and that sacred scene was broadcast through the news. The reputation of the Cheonil Group and mine became enormous, as a bonus.
「The invasion is not far away! Prepare for the invasion war!」
As I was heading to the airport for our honeymoon after the wedding, the Angel displayed a notification window. Jung Soo-yeon, who had her hand on her lower abdomen, didn’t seem to see the notification window.
‘It hasn’t even been a honeymoon yet. But I should prepare.’
Invading another world alone. Even for me, it was bound to be a burden, but… there was a way to make people strong in an instant in this world.
‘The most representative of those is items.’
The Angel’s recognition and the Cheonil Group’s money.
With those, I would be able to get almost anything. If I requested cooperation from other countries in the name of the Angel, they would give me rare items.
‘The first thing I need to get is a subspace item. Then, weapons…’
The invasion the Angel was talking about meant that I would become a monster from their perspective. I was actually looking forward to the battles ahead.
The original honeymoon plan was for fifteen days. We were going to spend a week in the Maldives on a private jet and the remaining week in Europe. But things in life don’t always go as planned.
The time spent in the Maldives was extended a little, and the fifteen-day honeymoon was extended to twenty days. It was because Jung Soo-yeon liked the Maldives.
Dawn in a suite room at a hotel in the Maldives.
I saw Jung Soo-yeon standing naked by the window. She was watching the sun slowly rise over the sea.
I admired her from the bed. Her body, bathed in the rising sunlight, was beautiful. I was quietly admiring her body when she suddenly turned around. She walked confidently and got into bed.
I hugged her and closed my eyes, falling back to sleep.
• • •
Booooooo!
The Angel blew a horn. The horn sound announcing the war was only audible to me.
「Warrior, prepare for the invasion!」
「Human counterattack!
Humans have always been invaded. Because they lacked strength, they could only barely endure.
They endured and endured and built up their strength.
Now, it’s time for a counterattack. Warrior, prepare to invade. Kill all the Wolta who prey on humans!
Waiting time: 30:00」
I called the servants and ordered them to bring the things I had prepared.
I put on a few items and checked the subspace pouch containing hundreds of items. I touched the Hwaryeon Bido in my hand. The preparation was over in less than three minutes.
I put a drug cigarette in my mouth. The drug circulated through my body, increasing my concentration.
「The Angel’s blessing is upon you.
The Angel wants victory!」
Of course, I wanted victory too. Defeat here meant death, and death meant the failure of the quest.
The Angel’s blessing was a kind of buff. And it was a pretty significant buff. Just in terms of physical ability, I was more than three times stronger. The amount of Force was the same. I could tell how serious the Angel was this time.
「Waiting time: 18:40」
「Waiting time: 11:07」
「Waiting time: 03:21」
The moment the waiting time reached 0, my body appeared in a place with gray land. A notification window appeared in front of me.
「Endure for 5 hours or defeat 500 Wolta and invade the Wolta world.」
‘500 of them, huh.’
There was no need to do anything separately. I could feel the fierce killing intent pouring in from all directions. The Wolta, flying in the sky with their wings, were raising their Force.
“Nice to meet you.”
I greeted them lightly. There was no reply. It was because they couldn’t speak human language. The Wolta, being half-machine, communicated with each other through telecommunications, not verbally.
I put on the item, Steel Wings. Steel wings spread wide behind my back. As soon as I rose into the sky, the Wolta opened their beaks and fired beams. They were firing condensed Force.
Rai-Ten Style (雷天流) Electromagnetic Barrier (電磁氣幕) Maximum Output.
A barrier made of flashing lightning blocked the beams. But their attacks didn’t stop. They continued to attack without stopping.
‘They fight like assholes.’
The electromagnetic barrier couldn’t be maintained indefinitely. At this rate, I would be the first to get tired in less than 15 minutes. I had to counterattack.
I spread my palm. Lightning flashed and gathered at the center of my palm. I compressed the lightning and then detonated it. An EMP exploded, spreading in all directions and sweeping through the Wolta.
“Kkkkkkkkk.”
“Kieeeeeek.”
The Wolta screamed and fell. The Wolta, half of whose bodies were machines, were particularly vulnerable to EMPs. But not all of them fell. Those who protected their bodies with Force didn’t fall and held on.
Before they could use their items, I took an item out of my subspace pouch.
A small metal arrow, not even a hand span long.
The Tracking Arrow. An arrow that automatically chases enemies for 30 minutes. The only weakness of this arrow, its durability, was overcome by reinforcing it with other items on Earth.
I threw the Tracking Arrow into the air. The arrow spun in the air and then flew towards a nearby Wolta. It pierced through the Wolta’s head in an instant and aimed for another Wolta’s life.
I didn’t leave everything to the arrow. I also flew in the sky, wielding the Hwaryeon Bido and killing the Wolta.
‘EMP Shock!’
I occasionally detonated EMPs. It was their weakness, so I couldn’t not use it. While fighting me, they had to surround their bodies with Force to prepare for EMPs. I knew well how annoying and concentration-consuming that was.
Swish, swish, swish!
Blood splattered every time I cut them down. The red blood falling from the sky to the ground was quite beautiful.
‘But these bastards are terrible at close combat.’
The Wolta had hands and arms similar to humans, but they had no lower body. Instead, they had wings, but the wings had to keep moving to fly in the sky. The close combat they could do with two arms without a lower body was limited.
‘Martial arts haven’t developed in their world.’
Rai-Ten Style (雷天流) Lightning Flash (雷閃).
I sent out a sword aura wrapped in lightning. The Wolta were startled and dodged to the side. Even without a lower body, their mobility was tremendous.
‘I shouldn’t use sword aura attacks.’
Dozens of Wolta gathered in one place. They increased their altitude and went up. They all used Force to flap their wings. A huge wind rose and swept me away. The wind was mixed with a sharp energy similar to sword aura.
Rai-Ten Style (雷天流) Electromagnetic Barrier (電磁氣幕).
I blocked the sharp energy with the barrier, but I couldn’t hold out for long.
‘Is this wind some kind of tornado?’
The powerful wind also swept away the ones who were stunned by the EMP. Their whole bodies were torn apart by the energy mixed in the wind. Blood was carried by the wind, swirling around. I clicked my tongue briefly. The blood itself became a blade of wind.
‘The Tracking Arrow is gradually reducing their numbers one by one, but it will take time to kill them all. I can’t hold out like this. And it’s not easy to take out a new item.’
There was no choice. I had to use points.
[You have used Enhanced Leap.]
[2 points have been used.]
I leaped through space and moved behind them.
The surprised Wolta stopped flapping their wings in confusion when I disappeared. They looked around as if searching for me, then turned around.
Too late.
Red lightning flashed from the Hwaryeon Bido, spreading in all directions.
Rai-Ten Style (雷天流) Ultimate Technique (極技) Exploding Thunder (爆震雷).
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwang!
The red lightning caused an explosion. The explosion tore apart dozens of Wolta who were gathered together in an instant. Pieces of their corpses fell to the ground.
“Shatrobupiadaka!!”
One of the Wolta, who was a little further away, shouted at me.
I didn’t know what he was saying. However, judging from the fear and anger I felt from him, I guessed it was an insult.
“You bastard.”
Since he insulted me, I insulted him back. He waved his arms and did something.
Kiiiiiiiiing!
Something tried to penetrate my head but was repelled. It was a mental attack. I was instantly enraged and used Enhanced Leap.
[You have used Enhanced Leap.]
[1 point has been used.]
I appeared right in front of him and swung my sword. Perhaps due to the aftereffects of the mental attack being repelled, he didn’t react properly.
“Die, split in half.”
Swish!
After killing one, I turned around, feeling uneasy. About 3km away, dozens of Wolta were holding missile launchers in their hands, aiming at me.
“…Missiles?”
I was momentarily flustered, but it wasn’t strange. The Wolta were the ones who turned half of their bodies into machines. In terms of scientific technology, the Wolta were more advanced than humans.
Dozens of missiles flew towards me. They were clearly guided missiles. Even if I used Enhanced Leap, there was a possibility they would follow me.
I took out a white cloth from my subspace pouch and waved it around haphazardly. The white cloth wrapped around me in a circle.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwang!
The missiles exploded, but I was safe inside the cloth called ‘Supreme Guardian’.
‘The Supreme Guardian can theoretically withstand a nuclear explosion head-on. It’s a shame it’s disposable, but a few dozen missiles are nothing.’
Then, the Supreme Guardian disappeared. The ones with the missile launchers were flustered. No matter what, they wouldn’t be carrying multiple missiles.
“I’ll kill you.”
[You have used Enhanced Leap.]
[10 points have been used.]
