Chapter 2233 – 2233. Gyeongseong 2033
The reason those bastards are charging at me with swords instead of guns is because I’m an acceleration ability user. Acceleration ability users above a certain level can easily dodge bullets.
Due to the nature of guns firing in a straight line, it’s not difficult to spot the muzzle and dodge at close range. And if you use acceleration beyond the limit like me… you can see the bullets flying.
When facing an acceleration ability user, the standard tactic is to kill them with unavoidable attacks, but if the opponent is also an acceleration ability user, close-quarters combat with swords is better than guns.
‘If they’re the same kind of acceleration ability user, that is.’
Even though I can’t use it continuously, when I use my acceleration ability to its limit, I can accelerate to the point where even bullets look like turtles. The same kind of acceleration ability user? Absolutely not.
Those bastards enter the accelerated world. I also enter the accelerated world.
With this, the advantage of acceleration is gone for them. What’s left is each other’s skill.
They should have brought guns, not swords.
‘How dare you attack a current Sword Master with swords?’
The protagonist of the original story struggles quite a bit against these guys. Because he was more familiar and skilled with guns than swords. But I’m the opposite. I’m more familiar with swords than guns.
Multiple swords rush in at once. As expected of guys who act as a team, their teamwork is excellent. But they still can’t beat me.
I move the sword in my right hand. Instead of trying to kill them recklessly, I blend into their swords.
‘I see it.’
The trajectories of the intertwined swords.
Not the trajectories they’ve passed, but the trajectories they will pass.
It’s not precognition. It’s my accumulated experience that predicted the trajectories of the swords.
‘The limit to which a sword can be swung. Surpassing that limit requires more than a master. These guys are killing machines, but they’re not masters of the sword.’
I block, parry, press down, and deflect.
I didn’t miss the gap where the swords rushing at me fell away, and I counterattacked.
The enemies are wearing state-of-the-art bulletproof vests, but not full-body reinforced exoskeleton suits. There had to be vulnerable areas like the neck or shoulders. I aimed for those gaps and swung my sword. The blade grazes an enemy’s neck. Blood gushes out like a fountain.
They didn’t care. Ignoring their comrade’s death, they thrust their swords at me.
I pretended to block with my sword and deflected it. I pushed away the sliding enemy’s sword with the hilt of my sword. The pushed-away sword pierced his comrade’s neck. The enemy is flustered. No matter how ruthless a killer they are, they can’t help but be flustered when they’ve killed their own comrade.
I took advantage of that gap, closed the distance, and slit his throat.
I killed them one by one in this way.
When I came out of the accelerated world, all of the Prime Minister’s dogs around me were dead and lying on the ground.
‘I need to get out of here before they realize these guys failed.’
If Prime Minister Ito finds out these guys failed, he’ll order a bombing immediately.
By sending these guys to me, the Prime Minister of the Japanese Empire has practically declared that he will kill me no matter what. If he finds out that these guys were annihilated by me, he’ll try to kill me by any means necessary, even if it’s a bit extreme.
‘I’ll go out the main gate.’
I went outside through the collapsed wall. Armored vehicles and police cars were blocking the entrance. As soon as the armed forces next to them spotted me, they shouted.
“It’s a terrorist!!”
“Kill him! The order to shoot has been given.”
[Hacking successful.]
[Armored vehicles, police cars, helicopters, and reinforced exoskeleton suits can be hacked for 3 hours and 22 minutes.]
The armored vehicles and police cars suddenly accelerate and attack people.
The hacked reinforced exoskeleton suits indiscriminately fired rifles at their comrades. The helicopters fired missiles and machine guns at the buildings on the ground.
Due to the rebellion of the machines, Tokyo instantly became a chaotic mess. Buildings collapsed everywhere, and red flames and black dust rose up. Tokyo began to burn. I leisurely walked through the chaos, got into an abandoned car on the road, and calmly drove away.
As long as I have hacking, a city full of machines is just my toy.
The car arrived at Tokyo Port.
I headed to a secluded spot in the port where the ship Widow had sent was. A white cruise yacht greeted me. On the yacht, a brown-skinned woman with long, abundant black hair braided into a single braid was sitting blankly. It was Shireya. She was waiting patiently on the yacht as I had told her to.
As I approached the yacht, two burly men appeared and blocked my path. Blonde hair, blue eyes, and snow-white skin. Anyone could tell they were Westerners.
“What is it?”
I asked with annoyance.
“Are you Seong Yu-jin?”
“Or should we call you Murakano Katsuna?”
They know my real name. Did information leak from Widow’s side? Or are they assassins sent by Kim Dok-rip?
I took out a knife from my pocket and examined the men’s weapons. They didn’t seem to be armed, but their toned bodies suggested they might be experts in hand-to-hand combat.
‘I don’t need to test them. I’ll just kill them.’
The moment I had the intention to kill, they raised both hands.
“Stop. I know you’re sensitive after having a fight, but we have no intention of fighting you.”
“We are not armed.”
They’re not enemies?
“What are you? Where did you come from?”
They rolled up their sleeves to their forearms and showed me the tattoos on their forearms. Two symbols: a swastika, the symbol of Nazi Germany, and a lightning bolt symbol resembling the letter S.
Schutzstaffel. These two are members of Hitler’s personal guard.
It’s not 100% certain with just the tattoos… but seeing them appear in front of me now, it must be true.
“The Führer is watching you. He has invited you to Germany. Come with us to Germany. Everything is ready, you just need to come.”
“I refuse the invitation.”
“Are you going to run away? Do you think the Japanese Empire will leave you alone after you killed over 100 members of the nobility? The only place you can sleep peacefully is Germany.”
Nazi Germany is a country that divides the world with the Japanese Empire. In terms of pure power, Nazi Germany is superior. In this world, the protagonist of World War II is Nazi Germany, no matter what anyone says.
“I’ll take care of my own business, so mind your own.”
“……You’re a madman, so you don’t listen. We know that ship came from Gyeongseong. The Righteous Army has already suffered devastating damage and become fugitives. Why are you so determined to go back?”
Because my fucktoy, Widow, is there. I’ve slept with many women in the Japanese Empire, but no woman can compare to Widow’s tits.
Unique tits.
I have to go see those tits. I hid the first reason from those guys and told them the second reason.
“Kim Dok-rip and Lee Wan-nong. I have to kill those bastards who sent the killers.”
They laughed as if they were dumbfounded.
“You’re going to Gyeongseong to kill the Governor-General of Gyeongseong after making the Japanese Empire look like this? You’re even more of a madman than we heard.”
“I’m normal. Don’t call me a madman. I’m just doing what I can do. If you’re done talking, get out of my way.”
“We’ll help you a little. The condition is that you go to Germany after your business is done. Oh, you can move with your companion. The Führer is interested in the Righteous Army and the independence of Korea.”
“…What’s your purpose?”
“I don’t know. No one in this world can guess the Führer’s thoughts. He’s too great.”
The Righteous Army has scattered, and I can’t expect any support. Getting help from Nazi Germany here is like making a deal with the devil… but who cares. If I want to kill the Prime Minister hiding somewhere in the Japanese Empire, I need Germany’s power.
“How are you going to support us? Are you going to go and fight?”
“It’s difficult to provide military support. It might be different elsewhere. Gyeongseong, along with Taiwan, is the most cherished colony of the Japanese Empire. We can’t openly intervene. Instead, we’ll provide weapons.”
“Are you going to make a big deal out of a few pistols and some bullets?”
“We’ll provide missiles. You know how dangerous missiles are in Korea, which is under the control of the Japanese Empire without an army.”
“But that’s all weapon support. Is there anything else?”
“You’re greedy. But the Führer anticipated all of this and said this: A German fleet will pass near Taiwan according to your schedule.”
That means they’ll draw the attention of the Japanese Empire through military provocation. The Japanese Empire would be furious. The inside is already noisy, and now there’s trouble on the outside.
“Okay. I’ll go to Germany after my business is done.”
There was no reason to take the ship together, so I passed them, got on the yacht, and headed to Gyeongseong.
I docked the ship on a rural beach in Gangwon-do, not a port monitored by the Japanese Empire, and disembarked.
Widow and Sensor, who had been contacted, were waiting. Widow was glaring at me with her arms crossed, as if she didn’t like something. Knowing that I like breasts, is she deliberately crossing her arms to show off her breasts?
Sensor seemed to have changed. The delinquent vibe I felt when I first met her was gone, and she looked serious, almost depressed.
Regardless, it’s quite a new feeling. She should have died at this point in the original story, but she’s alive in front of me.
“You seem relaxed even though you caused a big accident in Tokyo?”
Widow said, glancing at Shireya next to me.
“You have to be relaxed at times like this. Is this countryside safe?”
“Yu Mal-seon… no, the new commander has prepared this as one of the hideouts in case of emergency. It looks like a countryside, but it’s actually a ruin. There’s no one here except us. The road leading here is blocked, so no one can come.”
I looked around the countryside. People often say the air is good in the countryside. But I, who am used to city life, felt suffocated.
‘How can you live in a place without infrastructure?’
I shook my head.
“We need to decide what to do next. Do you have any ideas? Just in case, forget about going out into the open. The bounty on your head is over 10 billion yen.”
I can’t just rush into the Gyeongseong Governor-General’s office. I haven’t received the missiles from Germany yet either.
“First, I need to relieve my fatigue.”
I looked at Widow with a deep gaze. Widow flinched, but calmly met my gaze.
As I was going to Widow, Sensor blocked my way.
“Hunting dog… no, Seong Yu-jin. I have something to say. Let’s talk for a bit.”
